Ruairi was an amazing guide. Really enjoyed this tour! Ruairí is very knowledgeable, kind, and really funny! I highly recommend him and this tour. My husband and I have a fairly decent grasp on the Easter rising, he was able to fill in so many blanks. Also, seeing the places where this happened was amazing. Thank you so much!

Best tour we have ever taken. Our tour guide Keelan was knowledgeable, personable and had very valuable insights. I had hoped to learn a bit more about my family’s history and ended up with a fairly complete picture. We started with information about the famine and ended with information about present day Ireland. Walking through Trinity college at graduation was a happy coincidence. Our guide’s ability to describe and explain history and all of its nuances made history come alive. There was so much information that I will need to do the tour again to retain the information! My whole family loved this tour and our tour guide. I would give more stars if I could.

These tours are, I suspect, guide dependent. Ours was an unlicensed guide who was pretty knowledgeable, but did not seem that organized. A lot of our conversation was unrelated to the 1916 topic as well. He was friendly with a good sense of humor, but the tour itself was not much more than we could have done as a self guided audio tour. Given all the five star reviews this tour has had, maybe we just had an off day.
We always double-check the availability with our local partners for each booking. Even though this is usually a swift process, it can take up to 24 hours. Once this process is completed you will receive your voucher or ticket by email. If our local partner is not able to confirm your booking we will offer you the best possible alternative. If the new date and/or time doesn’t fit your itinerary, we will reimburse the full amount paid.
